One Of The World’s First Wheat Beers
Born in the heights of the Austrian Alps in Europe, Edelweiss’ traditional heritage can be traced back to 1646.
The German word ‘Edelweiss’ or ‘Edelweiß’ is a combination of ‘edel’ which means noble, and ‘weiß’, which means white.
Edelweiss is bottled by Brau Union using a recipe that has remained unchanged since then.
Refreshingly fruity and aromatic in flavour with noticeable banana undertones, Edelweiss’ unique taste is obtained from its top fermented brewing process.
Edelweiss is made of a carefully curated combination of ingredients; pure alpine water, wheat malt, barley malt, hops and top-fermented yeast.
As a modern wheat beer, Edelweiss is not as sweet or heavy as other wheat beers.
It is also well-balanced, with a fresh, clean taste and a hint of citrus.
Why wheat beers are better?
In addition to flavour, wheat has a high protein content, giving the beer a richer body, more stable foam, and – often – a hazy appearance.
A lot of beer is brewed with wheat, one of the most common ingredients in brewing.
There are several proven wheat beer benefits, from reducing the risk of broken bones to avoiding osteoporosis, diabetes, and even dementia.
Wheat beer provides many useful vitamins, chemicals and other additives that can enhance the way the body works and help avoid such diseases.
